I'm doing a re-theme of an old EM pinball and needed a way to get light from a Neopixel below the playfield surface to above it for lighting up playfield plastics. This thing is a mount for a 5mm diameter light pipe to fit onto a Neopixel that I cut from a light strip.
The light pipe mount has notches in the base to fit over the solder legs and the small chip capacitor next to the LED. It's a tight press fit for mounting over the LED and a tight press fit for the light pipes I picked up surplus from a local Dallas area store.
It took many variations to get this working. Translucent filament is terrible for light pipes and hollow tubes of 3D filament just allow light to escape. A light pipe is the best way to go and this mount makes it easy.
